[font "Arial"][red][size 3]Windies rock period!!! I have been on 3 pack trips up there and would not pass the opportunity to go again. I have been South Windies (Green River lakes region once) and twice out of Big Sandy trail head. I have personally have to say my Big Sandy experience has been the best. The first place I went to was Donald Lake. It had a ton of fish in it and average size blew the ave. unita size out of the water. Scenery was nice but not like my next trip. [/size][/red][/font]

[font "Arial"][red][size 3]My next trip was into the Cirque of the Towers, and any one who has crested over jackass pass knows what I am talking about! This is an area of the Windies that the continental divide comes through and basically makes a big loop, leaving a bowl surrounded by giant granite spears, and peaks. I believe the lake at the bottom is called Lonesome lake, and I caught some nice cutthroat out of it. This trip is high on my return to list! [/size][/red][/font]

[font "Arial"][red][size 3]The Uintas are an older mountain range than the Windies. (geologically) like anything in time, it deteriorates. While the Uintas is an amazingly beautiful place, the Wind Rivers hold some value that the Uintas cant touch! [/size][/red][/font]
